A research called “Studies on different grades and time of application of micronutrient mixture on growth, yield and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Bhagwa” was carried out during the year 2021-22. The experiment was conducted with different grades of micronutrient application compared with control in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The result disclosed that among the different treatments, treatment (T6) RDF + Grade-2 sulphate @30g/ thrice exhibited better in terms of highest percent of fruit set (43.42%), minimum percent of fruit drop (9.00%), maximum number of arils per fruit (382.39), maximum weight of 100 arils (44.39 g), and maximum juice percent (54.90%) whereas maximum weight of rind (92.03 g) was observed in (T5) RDF + Grade-2 sulphate @30g/ twice. Chemical attributes viz., maximum total soluble solids (15.27%), maximum ascorbic acid (14.38 mg/100g), maximum reducing sugars (13.03%), maximum non reducing sugars (1.32%), and maximum total sugars (14.36%) were observed in treatment (T9) RDF + Grade-1 chelated (12.5g)+ Grade-2 sulphate (15g)/thrice as compared to control T10. The treatment T6 was recorded minimum Titratable acidity (0.33%), maximum anthocyanin content (16.65 mg) and highest benefit: cost ratio (2.84) of pomegranate.
